In this paper we consider the Multiple Objective Optimization Problem, where concave functions are to be maximized over a feasible set represented as a union of compact convex sets. To solve this problem we consider two auxiliary scalar optimization problems which use reference points. The first one contains only continuous variables, it has higher dimensionality, however it is convex. The second scalar problem is a mixed integer programming problem. The solutions of both scalar problems determine nondominated points. Some other properties of these problems are also discussed.
